If Lars Von Trier made “Groundhog Day,” it would probably resemble much of “Koko-Di Koko-Da.” It’s a story about grief, focusing on the loss of a child, but writer/director Johannes Nyholm doesn’t approach the topic head-on. He plays with ideas on suffering and communication blockage between a pained couple, using a time loop premise to generate a horror film to help keep viewers in a state of suspense while the writing explores emotional damage from a unique perspective.
The AVC encoded image (1.85:1 aspect ratio) presentation largely remains in the forest, offering distinct greenery, with camping gear exploring brighter oranges and blues. Costuming provides clear primaries, along with hospital interiors. Skintones are natural. Detail delivers dimensional forest views and textured facial surfaces. Delineation is satisfactory.
The 5.1 DTS-HD MA mix manages the feature's nightmare realm with compelling energy, offering fresh atmospherics in the woods and crisp character movement, working into the surrounds. Dialogue exchanges are sharp and emotive. Scoring selections are crisp, with engaging instrumentation. Low- end offers some power with scenes of travel and violence.
"Koko-Di Koko-Da" gets very weird, but the core message of human connection and marital bonds remains, as the couple has to work through a fantasyland of pain to deal with their grief. Nyholm doesn't have a cohesive film in the end, but he has powerful ideas on relationships and the brutal challenges they often face.
